Lex Luthor Story Trailer for 'Injustice: Gods Among Us'

Check out Lex Luthor's role in this bleak world and Black Adam is revealed!

We're still counting down the days until Injustice: Gods Among Us is here, but Warner Bros. and NetherRealm Studios is making the wait easier by constantly giving us new stuff to enjoy. New costumes, new stages, new characters... and today we have an in-depth story trailer for Lex Luthor! Also, the video has the reveal of Black Adam! No idea if he's playable, but at least we know he exists in this universe!

Injustice: Gods Among Us comes out April 16th. Is this a day one purchase for you, Viners?

I really like how bulky that armor looks on Lex. He looks like a man expecting to fight gods. I like that they can use even more DC characters for stage hits but it's getting to be a bit silly that these guys are just attacking you out of no where in the middle of a fight. I'm extremely interested in seeing the story context of these backgrounds.

Don't underestimate him. I think Lex is actually doing the noble thing here. I think when he says, "I always choose the winning side," he's pretty much saying the side I choose will win and YOU KNOW he's not gonna side with Superman.

In anycase, this was epic. I love Luthors characterization in this video I have chills.

Also, I like both Captain Marvel and Black Adams costumes here better than they're new 52 ones.

, @ccraft: Note that it is Captain Marvel in an alt costume, not another character. After the reign of Superman in this universe, heroes and villains get alt costumes i.e. Hal Jordan (YL alt), Lex (Grey suit), Nightwing (black and purple alt), etc. If you watch the videos you can see some of them.

Pretty sure that the guy in the black cape is still Captain Marvel, but as a lackey for the dictatorship. The new guy with the gold and blue costume looks more like Dr Fate. In fact, I'm certain he's Dr. Fate!
